A grower who previously spent two hours daily on manual data entry can now spend this time on strategic crop improvement. Through digitization, companies save on average up to 40% in administrative time, which equates to up to 500 hours of additional productive time per employee per year.
Crop protection products and fertilization are major costs. By aligning applications with real-time field data, farms can save 10-20% on pesticide use, resulting in annual cost savings of €15,000 – €30,000.
A grower who previously did his harvest and personnel planning by feel saw his labor costs reduced by 15% with an automated planning system. In addition, better transportation planning reduced costs by 25% and reduced harvesting and transportation lead times by 20%.
Certifications and audits are often time consuming. With a digital system, a grower can prepare a GlobalGAP audit in minutes instead of days, saving €5,000 – €10,000 a year in administrative costs and avoiding fines.
